oh really people, shut the **** up about this. Its being covered 10000000000 Times, Just search it. The forum is getting crowded with useless threads about the same shit.

Dude that could have been said in a PM and ended it with something like...This has been covered too much or whatever, instead you have showed what a huge (ego) you have :D

*Just a thought buddy*

nuh, not really. Just really. This R32 vs R33 thing is a never ending thing. Search the forums and u will find sooo much. Its a conversation that will not have a conclusion. One likes r33, one like r32. Your not going to change anyones minds! So simply get over it :D

they've both got there good and bads at least there imports i say!! i dont like series 1 r33's but series 2's are kool but i love my 32 its awsome the look mean as with a gtr bonnet too. and dont get beat much by the 33's thou!

A bit off subject but I think that recently the r33 has largely been chosen over the r32 due to it being a relatively new car. But now that both are "old", the r33 wont have that "new" appeal advantage, and the r32 will be more appreciated. Not to mention the usual reasons - r33s are too FAT, and handle less well.

Its a matter of opinion. But the facts R33 is roomer and has a better more powerful engine, r33 is 100kgs heavier but still quicker in a straight line. Ive heard R32s handle better but im unsure on that one.

I prefer the looks of the R33, inside and out. R32's are starting to look a bit dated.

how are you "unsure on that one" ?

its 100kgs lighter and smaller all round and everyone says it (not always a good indicator ill admit) but it obviously has better handling

To the original thread starter, please stop being vague about what you want. State clearly ALL your requirements, eg:

your budget for the car you want to buy

your allowance per week that you can spend on the car (so people can tell you if you can afford an R32 GTR or an R33 GTSt, even though they will cost the same to buy)

your priority in the car you want, ie getting value for money or having creature comforts

performance is a very broad subject. Are you after a fast car, a car that handles well, one that has a responsive steering, one that is cheap to get good power out of etc. Please be more specific.

your use for the car, eg: build a show car, use it as a daily driver, not attract attention from police, experience driving a RWD etc.

This thread is now closed. If you wish to ask for help on what car is more suited to you, tell us more about yourself and what you want first. We have had many R32 vs R33 vs R34 vs krzysiu's mum threads before that really go nowhere if you want to read biased opinions that are of no use to you.

    • At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.
    • I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎 
    • I also don't mean to rain on your parade. But with a 5-10k budget for road only? I'd want to check confirmation that everything IS working correctly and I'm with @GTSBoy for a plan of action here. I'd be checking subframes, bushes, exhaust hangers, interior bits and generally QOL things and CONFIRMING they are working right before thinking about motor. You can get 250KW+ on stock RB26 hardware by simply removing the built in restrictors and tuning the stock ECU. If you want purity that's as far to take it, which I would be worried to do and won't think the budget would allow for when earnestly checking for 30+ year old car stuff.
    • I specifically said buy new performance car because of the use case here (i.e, no track use and fun livable everything/do it all easily if not especially amazing as a drivers car). Tracking an 80K Skyline and an 80K M2 makes the BMW the obviously more risky purchase WHEN something goes wrong you suddenly can't easily fix it with hand tools and readily available parts that you may have a community of people you know available, or years of your own knowledge on the platform to apply. There's reasons you see Hondas and Vettes and RB's and Miatas and such at tracks, you can easily hand-tool repair 99.9% of it in a shed, usually with the tools and the skillset of the owner to apply to it. An i30N is not going to beat a R chassis unless it's got massive problems either. The old cars can, and still do work great. The problem is - and always has been - social media would have you believe it's simple and easy to achieve the results you see online.  People want their car to be like "one of those cool JDM cars" which is the default image people have when they think of  "cool JDM cars" You are paying 25 years of catchup R&D to achieve. Or the knowledge somebody else has to do it for you, which is big dollar restomod stuff.  The bar has been moved and every R chassis that people see/like/enjoy has 25 years of R&D thrown at it, or is owned by someone who did all that work and has that knowledge over the past 25 years. All the survivors have been progressively resto-modded the entire time. OR you slowly bring it back to how it was stock. Which is also prohibitively expensive, done for the love of it. This is what the JDM community is now. This is fine, but "Where do I start?" is either: 1) Don't 2) Take your own slow journey but you cannot compare your progress with others who have had 25 years of R&D and experience building their own cars unless you pay for it.
    • Yep, with the crazy inflation of the value of our cars these past couple of years this became a problem for me too... My solution is to transition to bikes. Everything feels so cheap compared to tracking the skyline lol
